We are missing Blooie again?!

More drama here. :barnie Because the potential buyer had objected to something we had to reply and then give them 5 working days to reply to what we said (even though their objection was to something that wasn't actually in the conditions). Our lawyer wrote a very pointed email on Monday and sent it to their lawyer saying it wasn't a valid justification for holding everything up. We finally heard today (Wednesday for us) that they have decided to go ahead and have gone unconditional. So in 6 weeks we are out of here and will be living in a caravan on my parents 10 acres up north, which is very close to my sisters so our kids can play with their cousins lots. Then we can all calm down and figure the rest of it out. DH has not been coping (he does suffer from depression every now and then) and he hasn't been able to have a holiday in a very long time as his work is always short staffed, and last time he did take a holiday they were constantly calling and emailing him! So he really needs to just stop and remember how to relax.

Meanwhile, in the aviary, one of our young cockatiel pairs have made a nest under the cages that have the finches in them (as they can't mix with cockatiels). I thought they were just playing house, but the hen laid some eggs. I checked them a week ago and thought they weren't fertile as they looked clear. I checked again yesterday to find 3 out of the 4 are definitely fertile so in 10 days to 2 weeks they will have babies - on the floor of the aviary! I'm not quite sure what to do but don't want to disturb them at this point. Hopefully when the chicks hatch we'll have a better chance of getting everyone to move house into a proper nest box. It does kind of complicate things as the babies will be about a month old when we move (provided they do end up hatching). At least we can move all the birds a few days before we have to get out.

It's going to be our great adventure, that's for sure!

Six weeks? Wow, that will be here before you know it! Your kids will have so much fun with their cousins and hopefully, your husband will be able to relax. Great news Jae!:yesss:

Silly birds, they know how to be sneaky :lol:
 
Birds in landing flight. They are eating those old Apple's. These Little guys have cute caps. A lot of Robin's are eating the Apple's too. We count on them to help clean up Apple's ..those starlings are usually our most frequent visitors at this time of year.
